Conjur,

This documentary has been picked to pieces by factual sources. It is the defacto standard of the events that took place. Not only that, it is very well done.

Only thing I see are liberals back tracking claiming "unfair! I didn't say that!"

Only to be met with facts.

Facts will be the way. This show shows them in a well produced documentary. Facts will prevail. Watch the documentary.

For the sake of keeping a small shred of my faith in humanity, I'm going to have to assume that you are kidding and cannot be half as stupid as you pretend to be.

What is this schoolboy fantasy with Michael Moore (and by extension, Clinton's penis)?

Get over it.

Fahrenheit 9/11 was in theaters, not broadcast over public airwaves.
Fahrenheit 9/11 never touted itself as "the official true story" of 9/11.
Fahrenheit 9/11 actually interviewed people.

BTW, have you even seen any of Fahrenheit 9/11? Ever seen the extras on the DVD? Esp. the one with the filmmaker who went on house-to-house searches w/the US troops? Gives an unbiased look into how Abu Ghraib ended up 90% filled with innocent people.

Didn't watch this crap. 911 was all based on a big fat lie from an IDIOT president. How can this fact alone change your mind to think other wise? We went in on thinking bush had a reason = WMD. It was all based on lies and he misled the USA to waste billions of dollars and Lot's of lives for nothing. Well, maybe to get rich off of oil and fatten up his wallet. Why should we re-hash this crap again? We already know the facts. Why would anyone want to watch this kind of film is beyond me.

The last thing I want to see is another stupid show or report on 9/11 it's been what 5 years? Lets move on and get over it. If I see anything relating to 9/11 or so called terrorist I quickly change the channel. It's not worth my time... We all know what really happened... If you can't figure it out by now you need serious help.

I just got done watching this (I know, I know . . . late to the party. Gotta love MCE. ;)) and I came away with a different impression . . . I didn't feel like Clinton or Bush were responsible for 9/11 at all, and to state emphatically that either was misconstures the entire situation.

I don't think you can look at any one person and cast blame - but when you have all sorts of government personnel at varying levels making decisions in regards to national security while at the same time trying to cover their butts and keep their jobs, it doesn't go together well. There were all sorts of opportunities for Bin Laden to be killed, but people hemmed and hawed around, played it safe, and did nothing. If just one person or group of persons had stuck their necks out and taken a risk, things might have ended differently. Take the INS agent who refused to let one of the hijackers in. He did the right thing, but as his coworker said, "Okay, but you're taking the hit on it." Or the bomb squad guys who removed the VIN number from the wreckage to keep it from being destroyed. They got reamed, but having the VIN number cracked the case. What if somebody had taken a peek at Moussaui's laptop beforehand? What if somebody at the FBI had paid attention to the Phoenix memo?

The wall of seperation between the FBI and CIA definitely seemed to hurt as well.

Our ENTIRE government failed us on so many levels. And sometimes just one alert person can stop a plot - like the border guard in Washington state.
